Replacement Door Weatherstripping (Flashing)

Looking for some ideas on what I can use to replace the copper flashing (picture attached) on one of my exterior doors. I have tried foam against the back of the door jamb, but the door will not close fully. I am trying to avoid replacing the whole door.

The copper flashing is nailed to the perimeter of the door jamb and when the door closes the "V" pinches shut and seals the door. The problem is through the years bits and pieces of the copper "flap" have torn off and with the current heat wave, it is leaking quite a bit of A/C.

Thoughts and ideas are welcome.
